Tucked away at the base of the Sequoia National Park, Kaweah Falls House is a unique retreat in the Sierra Nevada mountain town of Three Rivers, California.

The house, which bridges a water flume, was designed by Frank Robert, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright’s. It is built on the spot where a fresh mountain flume meets the Kaweah River. A river literally runs through the house between the bedroom and the main living areas.

The Taliesin Mod.Fab™ is a 600-square-foot, one-bedroom prototype prefabricated home designed and built by students at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. This elegant and sustainable home relies on panelized construction to allow for speed and economy on site or in a factory. It can be connected to utilities or be “unplugged”, relying on low-consumption fixtures, rainwater harvesting, greywater re-use, natural ventilation, solar orientation, and photovoltaics to reduce energy and water use.
